[Eminem]
Renegade! Never been afraid to say
What's on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause I'm a Renegade! Never been afraid to talk
About anything (anything) anything (anythin), Renegade!
[Jay-Z]
Never been afraid to say
What's on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause I'm a (RENEGADE) Never been afraid to holler
About anything (ANYTHING) anything (ANYTHING)
[Demetrius]
Renegade; never been afraid to stay militant when I'm in a rage
Never been afraid to say trilla sh** when I'm center stage
I will steal a page from the Bible, if I was gonna lie to you
What I'm finna say is the realist sh** I can illustrate
I'm straight illa' on the West
But let me tell you why it's hard for rappers to make it on the West
You see the West died when Pac died, but then Poppa died
Now consider it a nature of their d**h, now it's a place, on the West
I confess, that just left a bad taste with the rest, of the industry
Remember we get placed with that reputation
Of being g**n nation on the West
So honestly, subconsciously, they hated on the West
I mean these labels; they don't want no parts of gangsters on the West
So they played the game, yeah, they stayed away, from the West
They created lames, n***as came to fame on the West
You can spit gangster sh** as long as you ain't from the West
Now, scratch all that he-say, she-say
If you rap in southern CA, you gon' need that stamp from Dr. Dreezay (Dre)
And I'm calling all these DJ's, the five freeway
Cause you ain't making in through CA without that lane on the West
Now these days, these gay DJ's
At these radio steezations (stations)
Keep playing the same sh**, on replay
They make me wanna get that, click-clack
And wave heat, like a heatwave
Then make a f**ing example out of these lames, BLAO!!
We tryna make something from nothing
We went from thuggin' to Dougie-in'
Tryna get played in the club again
Tryna get radio play, shaking that gangster and thuggin' ish
Tryna get labels to sign us without getting raped for our publishing
So, Crook made up the new West, Crook gave us a new rep
But the old West, just took it wrong, and everything went too left
Now every rapper want the credit for bringing the f**ing West back
That's why we never stick together, we bringing checkers to a chess match
But I f** with my n***as though
I f** with that n***a Tyga, I f** with Kendrick though
I f** with my n***a Myke, I mean that n***a 'Stro
I f** with the Dynamics, I f** with plenty mo'
YG, Nipsey Hussle and Ab-Soul
Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q and Gla**es Malone
Ty Dolla $ign and Dom Kennedy tho
Pac Div, Dub Union and plenty mo'
